    • Copied theme not visible

    Posted by Steve United States

    Tikiwiki 5.1
    I have copied the eatlon theme. To do so I copied "eatlon.css" to "mythemecopy.css" and copied the "eatlon" directory to "mythemecopy" but it is not available for use. The new theme "mythemecopy" does not appear in the "Themes" drop down of the "Look and Feel" screen. I have tried:

    1. Checking for file name spelling errors (mythemecopy.sss etc...)
    2. Checking to ensure permissions on files are approriate (consistent with the others)
    3. Refreshing the "Look and Feel" page
    4. Closing and reopening the browser (desperation was setting in)

    Suggestions welcome

    Did you clear the Tiki cache, too?

    Note that you'll need to make some edits to your mynewthemecopy.css. Any of the styles that reference graphics will need to reflect your new theme name/directory. For example, the base Eatlon body style includes a background image:

    Copy to clipboard
    body {
	background: #9faec2 url(eatlon/body_bg.gif) repeat-x;
	font-family: arial, sans-serif;
	color: #8f8f8f;
	font: 76%/1.4em black Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif}

    You'll need to change the URL to mythemecopy/.

    HTH,
